I would sue the company. most definitely. There's no need to make a scene publicly, but if you were let go without much warning, you would be able to win. CA protects workers and a good lawyer would be able to find a good cause for this.
I would avoid off shore developers at all costs. It'll be more costly for your business if you didn't pick the right ones, or not managing them correctly.
Even if you did pick the right developers, you will have to spend time to teach them about design. Design is completely off when it's done offsite.
Agreed, I've never had a design come out nicely from offshore. Maybe I worked with the wrong folks but it has been consistently poor every one of the times I tried it.
I have recently deleted my SO account. Hallellujah! I've gone as far as putting in -site:stackoverflow.com when I need to google something because most of the answers are just white noise.
You can't transfer between Stripe accounts. Charges going through Connect have the same fees as ones not going through connect (namely, 2.9% and $0.30).
If you're using our application_fee parameter to take your own fee out of a transaction, you get the full amount you request. Both that full amount, and the Stripe fee for the charge, are subtracted from the total amount paid to the seller.
To illustrate, a $100 charge with a $1 application fee would end up sending $1 to the application, $3.20 to Stripe, and $95.80 to the seller.
This is a huge problem for me. My marketplace was designed to take commissions out of each sale so our application fee is $0. I have to charge the customers who buy the products the full amount, and then a percentage of the sale is disbursed to the seller and our site (the application).
If there are multiple parties involved in referring the sale, I will be charged not one but a multiple of the Stripe fees whenever money is disbursed to appropriate parties involved in one single sale.
Furthermore, because I have to process returns I will not be able to send the payment directly to the seller immediately. The payment would be retained in my account after a period of time before I could transfer it to the sellers.
Wikipedia is an interesting place. I am not sure what classifies articles for deletion, but it feels like only people who live in the Internet industry take part in actively running and editing the articles. I don't think of it as a male dominant community (even though I am female), but it feels like to me that only for people who are only care about stuff they know. It feels more like a closed minded community than having a woman problem.
My previous company was a chip and Wi-Fi module startup (ZeroG Wireless). I had requested our company name to be created around 2009. At that point, we had been around for 4 years and we had taken $30m in funding. However, we were never granted a section on Wikipedia.
On the other hand, plenty of internet companies who were around than launch much shorter than that and their names are currently on Wikipedia, for example, Pownce. I am sure that many others are granted a Wikipedia entry for being around less, accomplishing less than what we did. The only difference is that these were Internet startups and ZeroG was not.
Some people simply need to wake up and stop living in their own bubble. Let's hope that one day they can realize that others do care about things that the community doesn't care.

There are a lot of ways to get yourself discredited on Wikipedia, but trying to get an article written about yourself, your company, your band, or anything else you are intimately involved in is the most reliable.
I never attempted to write about my company. I submitted a request to have my company created as an entry. You need to have your company name created first before anyone can write about you.
I never said you did attempt to write about your company.
> You need to have your company name created first before anyone can write about you.
No you don't. If you're logged in and you go to a blank page, you can just start writing something there, unless the page has been specifically blocked from page creation because someone keeps putting spam there.
I would say that the combination of not knowing how Wikipedia works, asking other people to do something for you, and on top of that, trying to get an article written about yourself, your company, your band, or anything else you are intimately involved with is a perfect way to get yourself ignored and discredited.
All I did was request my company name to be created. I never attempted to write the article myself.
I didn't find a way of writing on a blank page like you did, the situation may have changed. Well if you did, you're definitely more knowledgeable than me about Wikipedia, but please don't tell me what I did and did not do.
I am OK if Wikipedia deletes my article if it's their policy. My issue is that they did not treat my company the same as the the rest of the world due to own ignorance.
> I am not sure what classifies articles for deletion, but it feels like only people who live in the Internet industry take part in actively running and editing the articles.
In short, someone who knows enough about Wikipedia processes reads it and decides it should be deleted will put it up under the Articles for Deletion.
It's pretty natural that people who are more comfortable with the web will be more comfortable making Wikipedia edits; I've been a small-timer since college (I've made maybe 15 edits in whole). It'd be worthwhile for Wikipedia to make a push towards getting a better representation in their ranks: at the very least, they'd be able to draw on a larger body of knowledge and perspective.
There are no wrong questions asked at a conference. Everyone is there to learn. I stopped reading the rest of the blog because I found the first bullet point annoying: "Only ask a question relevant to 2/3 of the audience." People can ask what they want. Who are you to say that their asking a specialized question is their way of "showing off"? Get over yourself!
No founder is so cheap as to have their time to be rented from. Besides, if I want to connect with some of the founders, all I have to do is send them an email.
I really love this, but I think paying for shipping is the one problem you will have to solve. Shipping costs at minimum $15. Maybe could focus on listing designer clothes, hard-to-get items first, and then once you get a sizable user base you could negotiate a shipping rate for your users
Nvidia Doesn't have a choice no matter how unhappy they are with tsmc. TSMC is the biggest fab that every fabless manufacturer uses. Every single fabless semi has no choice but TSMC. If tsmc can't deliver on the 22nm technology, no other fab will be able to. The 22nm is extremely difficult most skus fail. Hence intel wins.
